R2D2 Mailbox Map: Droids Go Back To School, Too

Contribute your R2D2 mailbox locations by uploading your photo, with mailbox address to the Jaunted Flickr Photo Pool, or sending us the photo and street address via email.

Jaunted tipster Mary Kay spotted this R2D2 mailbox not far from home in Buffalo, New York. Right across the street from the University at Buffalo, these days this postal unit should be fielding plenty of desperate cries to mom and dad to send more money for "books".

Mary Kay's son is a major Star Wars fan, so even though these mailboxes are on the way out she wanted to get this one on the map. We're hoping to spy a few more before they disappear.

R2D2 Mailbox Map: Looking For Mississippi Queen Amidala

Contribute your R2D2 mailbox locations by uploading your photo, with mailbox address to the Jaunted Flickr Photo Pool, or sending us the photo and street address via email.

Jaunted tipster James found the R2D2 mailbox in Jackson Mississipi. Who knew R2 was into taking in some gospel music down by the Pearl River, or maybe the droid hit a blues bar. There are plenty of Mississippi blues events for R2 to check out this month.

He does look quite lonely sitting on the side of the road in Jackson, but at least he has his little blue postal friends to keep him company.

R2 is showing up everywhere this summer.

R2D2 Mailbox Map: Droids Summer On Long Island

Contribute your R2D2 mailbox locations by uploading your photo, with mailbox address to the Jaunted Flickr Photo Pool, or sending us the photo and street address via email.

Jaunted tipster Lyla was sauntering around Port Jefferson when she spotted an R2 unit of the mailbox variety on Main Street, struck a pose, captured it digitally and sent it in.

Port Jefferson is on the North Shore of Long Island and P.T. Barnum once owned land here, which he intended to use as the home base for his circus. The town put a stop to that and now a different kind of circus hits Long Island every summer.

No idea of R2 has a time share somewhere on the Island.

R2D2 Mailbox Map: Running With Manhattan's Charging Bull

Contribute your R2D2 mailbox locations by uploading your photo, with mailbox address to the Jaunted Flickr Photo Pool, or sending us the photo and street address via email.

Over the holiday week, Jaunted tipster Paul spotted a R2 mailbox just north of Bowling Green Park in Manhattan and snapped a photo.

This R2 mail unit was spotted hanging out with Manhattan's Charging Bull sculpture. The sculpture, which was created following the 1987 stock market crash as a symbol of unyielding belief in capitalism, depicts a anatomically correct bull charging up Broadway.

It is said that many Wall Street traders fondle the bull's balls every morning before the opening bell, for good luck of course. Turns out, tourists like the bull, and his balls, just as much as R2D2 and the I-bankers. Scroll down and check out this video of tourists posing with one of New York's most photographed landmarks.

R2D2 Mailbox Map: Is R2 A Mormon?

Contribute your R2D2 mailbox locations by uploading your photo, with mailbox address to the Jaunted Flickr Photo Pool, or sending us the photo and street address via email.

Jaunted tipsters added a couple new entries to our R2 mailbox map this week.

First we find out that R2 has been spotted at Disney's MGM. No shocker there, since Disney is running the Star Wars Weekends through June.

However, R2 turning up in Salt Lake City, now that surprised us. Man that little droid gets around. Keep 'em coming and we will keep mapping 'em.

Jaunted tipster Richard found this mailbox on W Martin St in Raleigh North Carolina.

He should have thrown a UNC or Duke cap on the droid, so we could get a better idea of where R2's loyalties lie when it comes to Tobacco Row's biggest rivalry.

R2D2 Mailbox Map: Dispatches From The American Hoth

Contribute your R2D2 mailbox locations by uploading your photo, with mailbox address to the Jaunted Flickr Photo Pool, or sending us the photo and street address via email.

Looks like the rumors of R2D2's postal death have been greatly exaggerated.

This past weekend we received our two favorite R2D2 mailbox spottings to date-- Alaska and Hawaii.

Jaunted tipster Scott, in Hawaii, tells us he suspects at least three droid mail units in the Aloha state, the one he submitted, one in Waikiki, and one on Maui. Meanwhile, up on America's very own planet Hoth, a couple of rowdy storm troopers took a great shot of them with their captured R2 unit.

The lesson here, aside from the fact that it snows in Alaska in May, is that the game is still afoot. So get out there and find your local droid mail drop and send it in.

R2D2 Mailbox Map: The Last Days Of Droid Mail?

Contribute your R2D2 mailbox locations by uploading your photo, with mailbox address to the Jaunted Flickr Photo Pool, or sending us the photo and street address via email.

A Jaunted tipster sent in this photo from the Blacksburg, Virginia, home of Virginia Tech.

The USPS Star Wars stamp promo ends this Friday, and with just a couple days of voting left, somehow the Star Wars scene that inspired this R2 mailbox photo is only in third place.

Will the R2D2 mailboxes disappear from American street corners once this promo ends? More than likely, so get back out there before the end of hte week and locate more of the 380 R2 units spread across the U.S., snap a photo, send it our way and we will add it to the R2D2 USPS Mailbox Map.

So get back out there and locate more of the 380 R2 units spread across the U.S., snap a photo, send it our way and we will add it to the R2D2 USPS Mailbox Map.
